Cube Designer - New Measure Folder MISSING

[kformus]

OK, I am perplexed.  In Cube Designer, when you have a measure dimension selected, you should be able to create a 'New Measure Folder'.  This is a little Icon in the project explorer.  This Icon is MISSING.  There is no icon, I cannot create measure folders.  Has anyone seen or heard of this? 

Thanks,

In a Dynamic Cube, your measures are automatically grouped into a measure folder in the Project Explorer - usually named the same as the Fact table your measures are coming from. If you right-click on this existing measure folder and point to "New", you should see three options - Measure, Calculated Measure and Measure Folder. Do you see this in your version?

What version of Cognos 10 BI is installed on your server? What fix packs/interim fixes have been applied? Have all the same fix packs/interim fixes been applied to the Cube Designer install also?

Cheers!

Thank you so much MFGF. I am using 10.2.1 FP 4 on my BI Server.  I do not see the Measure Folder option when I right click a measure folder.  I see the other two options.

How do I update my Cube Designer install?  I guess I only know how to update my BI Server.

Thank you!

You need the 32-bit version of FP4 in order to update Cube Designer. Normally your server will be 64-bit, and I'm guessing the FP4 you downloaded was 64-bit?  Go back to the fixcentral site and grab the 32-bit version of the fix pack, then install this on the machine you are running Cube Designer on - might be your server or your local machine or even both? Normally the server installs into Program Files > IBM > Cognos and the client tools (including Cube Designer) install into Program Files (x86) > IBM > Cognos.

Sounds to me like you have a patched BI Server install and an unpatched Cube Designer install, so installing the 32-bit fix pack will sort things out.

Cheers!
